https://store.steampowered.com/app/1577690/Video_Game_Fables/ Video game fables is a cozy little 10 hour rpg that just dropped. I had a pretty good time with it. 4/5 stars. It’s got a few unpolished bits but combat is snappy and the writing isn’t cliched. If you like rpgs it is definitely worth checking out. It’s endearingly earnest.

Play posted:Also, wanna shoutout the Nina Turtle game. It has such a nice classic feel. Wish I had some friends to play with though as I feel like I'm definitely missing a lot of the attraction in single player (obviously for a game based off one of the best multiplayer arcade games of all time). Only downsides I can think of is the crossplay between platforms is a pain in the rear end and the default keyboard controls aren't great.

Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance IIquote:An old-school hack-and-slash action RPG awaits! Pick one of five heroes, defeat monstrous enemies with weapons and spells, loot treasure and level up in this classic D&D fantasy adventure. If you're not excited about ports of twenty year-old games then you're probably not going to be interested in this, but the original was one of my favorite games back then and it was pretty satisfying to revisit. I'm definitely going to pick this up, but not at full price.

While playing Dark Alliance over a decade ago my friend and I coined the term Scooby-Doo-ing, where one person aggros a monster and runs in circles around the other person, who shoots/stabs it while it just runs after the first. I have no idea why we called it that buts its a term we still use today. Might play through this as well (we only played the first)

So this is updog, I've always wondered. Incidentally, another Platformer released today, a rather rambunctious alternative to your Hat in times and your Kao the Kangaroos: Hell Pie https://store.steampowered.com/app/889910/Hell_Pie/ (Here's a safe for work trailer for people with sensitive constitutions) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zW8v5oIjQA4 I tried the demo back during a nextfest on Steam and it's definately my jam, the controls feel right and it's definately got the anarchic tone that I enjoy. quote:Hell Pie is an obscene 3D platformer that takes bad taste to the next level! Hell Pie sees you grab the horns of Nate, the ‘Demon of Bad Taste’. He is given the honorable task of gathering the disgusting ingredients for Satan’s infamous birthday pie! Only four reviews as of this posting but they are all positive.

Kickstarted this (apparently 2 years ago now, wow) and it's finally in Early Access: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1249480/ExZodiac/ https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/256897125/movie480_vp9.webm It's totally not Starfox. Contains 6 of the planned 12 levels and what's there is claimed to be complete but I haven't played it yet.

Tombot posted:So this is updog, I've always wondered. I was extremely mild on this for the first half hour of the game. You get your standard double jump + midair dash, felt very much like A Hat In Time but missing the movement you get from the combination of jumps and dash/slides. If you're at all interested in this game, play it until you get to the first real hub world level (not the supermarket) and keep to the left at the start. The upgrade you get makes movement immediately better. I'm fast as gently caress boyyy  E: I've had about a demo's worth of time with this game and it's got a few rough spots mechanically but holy hell is the movement satisfying. One of the upgrades is a bounce where as long as you're holding down the dash button as you fall, you'll bounce when you hit the ground and it refreshes your double jump. Combine that with the turbine horns (basically sprint cap from A Hat in Time) and you can jump-boost swing-boost swing-double jump-dash-bounce-double jump within the first couple hours. You have MOVEMENT. And just through the first island themed level, it's definitely all in bad taste for its theming but it has stuck the landing so far. "Giant whale that is a sushi restaurant on the inside, gee I wonder what they serve  " has been good. I haven't been to poop town yet though

King of Solomon posted:How's the writing? The trailer makes it look really unfunny, but if it's not that bad then I might dive in It's about as memey as Guacamelee but it's all nudge-nudge so far. For instance, one of the things you walk past in Hell is a DVD player with 5 demons sitting around watching the DVD logo bounce around. You get an achievement for waiting with them until the DVD logo perfectly hits a corner. I'd place it adjacent to Conkers Bad Fur Day, but I also haven't gotten too deep in yet so I don't know if it takes a wildly transphobic or racist turn yet. As a platformer, it's good as hell. E: On second thought, put this into the "if it's discounted by more than 50%, consider it" pile. I've just had to replay the same section of about a minute's worth of annoying platforming for the sixth time, and the reason I did was poor collision detection sliding me off a platform into a pit of acid. bawk fucked around with this message at 14:35 on Jul 22, 2022 |

Sway Grunt posted:Even just the Normal difficulty levels are taking me forever. I wonder if this one's just a bit too hard to be honest, it's veered into "slightly annoying" for me on at least a few occasions. It's all still pattern recognition and knowing when to put a pause on which of your three options you're looking for. The thing I find most annoying is the variation in shapes I had to get used to. It's not just finding eight sausages, its eight cured meats of different shapes. It's not just eight ice cream cones, it's eight one/two/three scoop cones + soft serves. Hard mode really likes to hide the I Spy patterns in other similar patterns too, so you have to keep an eye out. I don't think it's too hard at this point, but I think you have to be the kind of person who plays hidden object games for fun and wants to spend some time peeling back the layers on where an object "should" be based off where other objects are, etc. because that's exactly how I solved hard mode of Map 1

You made my day. FIND ALL is the prettiest and most satisfying line-art hidden-object game I know. You never feel cheated when you find the last object of a type; you feel clever for having solved the puzzle. You never feel that "well, that was three lines that might have been something" irritation.

I like this one too. Just some of the sneakier items, like the last feather or snail on level 6, I've found a bit frustrating to track down, which is an experience I don't recall from the first two games. I actually do like the variation in shapes, what I'm not big on is hiding 3/4ths of a balloon behind a tree with just a little string as a hint or stuff like that (hiding half a balloon would be okay in this case). Anyway it's still great! Gonna tackle the hard levels today, we'll see how that goes. edit: Went smoother than the normal levels, somehow. Maybe just familiarity with the scenes.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/490280/Realms_of_Magic/ This had an official release 4 days ago, and I saw it on the Steam Store then, but I only now got around to giving it a try. At first glance, looked like someone wanted to moosh Skyrim style rpg grind/progression and a bland but functional story into a Terraria mould, with lots of little sidescroller style regions you can leave and move between in a top-down world map. It spent a long time as an early access game, I believe. Just did a quick forum search here and saw a reference to Realms of Magic from 2017. There are guides written on Steam's community page, but most of them are clearly outdated. I was reasonably interested in the pitch, but the tutorial dragged on a bit. Ended up pressing alt-F4 and closing the game accidentally when I was trying to figure out how to eat/drink and it looked like I needed a function key + F4 press. Part of that was probably trying to play it on a little laptop computer, though. I'm going to give it at least another hour, I find the idea of a more directed terraria style adventure with some designed levels you can't just build around to be pretty appealing.

avoraciopoctules posted:https://store.steampowered.com/app/490280/Realms_of_Magic/ Seems interesting! Usually I’ve only played Terraria style stuff co-op (which I feel like would’ve been great for this!), but I do like the pitch. E: got an hour in. It definitely combines all the bits. Building etc like in terraria, some quests, overworld with locations you jump between. The writing is not super great, lots of awkward phrasings and random segues, but thats not really the point i suppose. will probably give it another try at some point, it seems like each individual part is not the attraction as much as the combination. tildes fucked around with this message at 18:17 on Jul 25, 2022 |

In the same vein, Hidden Through Time just dropped two new DLCs https://store.steampowered.com/app/524910/Hidden_Through_Time/ It's more isometric and also beautifully illustrated, but you can zoom in and out as well. $1.99 a pop for the two new DLCs but there's 10 levels in each one it looks like.
